“Summoning through the array is quite easy, but to form a contract is a very complex process ! ”
“Unless the monster has already recognized you and is familiar with you or actively seeking to establish a contract… Otherwise, if you approach a monster, it will not give you the time and opportunity to form a contract!”
Both Shen Daodao and Li Fengxing widened their eyes in surprise, their mouths agape, shocked into silence.
Upon researching, it seemed they had really overlooked a key point?
Exactly…
For ordinary people to contract with a Guardian Beast, the formation of the contract was the most complicated step. It would take considerable time to complete.
Running up to a monster, activating the summoning array, in all likelihood, would just lead you to be wrangled upon by the monster, right?
But why was it so simple and quick for Chen Fan to form a contract?
It appeared that right when the summoning array was activated, the contract seemed to appear instantly!
How did he manage to do that?
Shen Daodao immediately asked, “Brother Fan, how exactly did you manage to form the contract? Teach us please!”
Upon hearing this, everyone including Ye Hao and Fang Qingqing all turned their attention to Chen Fan.
“Forming a contract is actually not that difficult at all,” Chen Fan said, “My steps are the same as yours.”
“If there is a trick to it, it’s diligence, practice and have a good daily routine, absolutely never stay up late.”
Everyone collectively rolled their eyes.
Seeing Shen Daodao and Li Fengxing in shocked silence, Chu Xuan added, “There’s another big problem, even if the Guardian Beast is willing to form a contract with you, your Beastmaster’s Space might not be able to support it.”
“The number of contracted Guardian Beasts is directly linked to the beastmaster’s own strength.”
“You can’t possibly compare the likes of Chen Fan, a freak, to ordinary people.”
“Because of these limitations in numbers, even if your families were to find suitable Guardian Beasts for you, a successful contract formation would still be impossible.”
“Who are you calling a freak!” Chen Fan retorted, whilst picking up a small stone and hurling it at Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan merely shifted his head to side to dodge the stone.
Shen Daodao and Li Fengxing stared at each other wordlessly.
After putting half a day’s worth of research into it, was it really impossible?
Speaking of which, Chen Fan really was a freak… he already had six Guardian Beasts!
Was he really human?
Was this even something a human could accomplish?
Chu Xuan was right, it was pointless to compare oneself with such a freak.
The more they compared, the more depressed they felt.
The more they compared, the more desperate they felt.
Shen Daodao looked towards the sky silently, a 45-degree angle of despair.
A gust of cold wind blew by, causing him to shudder.
Sigh, what was the use of being good-looking, the wind still felt cold, and it couldn’t help with forming contracts with more Guardian Beasts.
Shen Daodao walked over to Ye Hao’s side, squeezing out a spot to sit.
Li Fengxing started walking over towards Shen Hongxiu, only to be met with her dismissive retort, “Scram!”
He then moved over towards Bai Ruge, who made space by moving closer to Chen Fan.
Upon sitting down, Li Fengxing blurted out meaningless chatter, “The Azure Crystal Demon Fox still isn’t as good as the Wild Savage Ape.”
Everyone looked dumbstruck.
Li Fengxing continued, “Originally, we have killed so many monsters, including a large group of Demonic Wolves, but we have discarded so many monster corpses. What a waste, that could have converted into money… but the Horned Tiger and Heavenly Waste Divine Bull were already full.”
“If we had the Wild Savage Ape, that would be great. I reckon it could probably carry the weight equivalent to a small mountain.”
“Don’t you all agree that the Wild Savage Ape is stronger than the Azure Crystal Demon Fox?”
No one else chimed in.
Li Fengxing glanced to the side and all of a sudden…
Unknown to him, the Azure Crystal Demon Fox had sneaked right behind his back, its sharp teeth less than ten centimeters away from his neck!
“But! ”
Li Fengxing raised his voice, scaring everyone around, “The Wild Savage Ape definitely can’t defeat the Azure Crystal Demon Fox!”
“Additionally, The Wild Savage Ape being of larger size, just an illusion of its strength. Though it may be able to carry more, it would require more food consumption. I’m guessing all the monsters that we have killed are not enough to fill its stomach.’
“Little Qing is different. She eats very little and is both tender and good-natured.”
“Sigh…” Everyone sighed.
Chen Fan handed the juicy grilled leg of a Demonic Wolf to the Azure Crystal Demon Fox.
Accepting the leg, the Azure Crystal Demon Fox retreated to a corner.
As a gust of wind blew over, Li Fengxing realized his entire back was soaked with cold sweat.
Despite the Azure Crystal Demon Fox having contracted with Chen Fan, since the contract was relatively new, who knew whether she would rebel and bite him.
Gazing at the startled Li Fengxing, Shen Daodao silently nodded to himself,
“Exactly, quietly being a handsome guy is stronger than everything else!”
It was late into the night.
But no one seemed sleepy.
After consuming the Goblin’s brewed coffee, everyone was in high spirits. They chatted from the Secret Realm to the Restricted Area, from the Restricted Area to the Martial Arts University. They also discussed Guardian Beasts and cultivation.
For some reason, the Goblin, Illusion King Azure Python Golden Horned Beast, and Blackie seemed to have become on good terms, sitting together and chatting in whispers.
Curious, Li Fengxing shifted towards them, using his Star Power to eavesdrop with precision listening.
He heard Blackie say, “How could we possibly have any common ground with the likes of Gangzi and the Cold Pond Golden Horned Jiao Dragon, those idiots?
They can’t even speak properly.”
Li Fengxing:
The Illusion King Azure Python Golden Horned Beast added, “It’s obvious, after all, Guardian Beasts like us who are able to speak are very few and far between. Even Li Fengxing who is human doesn’t speak properly. Every time he does, he gets beat up..”
